Spring practice has finally come to a close around the Big Ten so as part of an ongoing series, we're taking a look back at each team's spring breakout player. Who improved the most? And who surprised?
We've just about wrapped up all 14 teams. Next up in the series: the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Spring breakout player: OL Tariq Cole
No one at Rutgers might've come a longer way over the past few years than Cole.
The current redshirt sophomore was once a 400-pound high school athlete -- with a size 50 waist -- and he's now thinned down to around 314 pounds.
